Howth Coast Guard is warning the public to avoid walking on the East Pier in Howth between 10am and 4pm today due to expected waves breaking over the pier wall.

Outside these times, people should be cautious and use common sense.

The Coast Guard warned: "If you see the spray of the waves reaching on the pier, don’t walk it. Waves can be unpredictable, a lull of ten minutes can be followed by intense waves powerful enough to knock you over and cause injury or wash you off the pier wall."
